Are you Traveling?
Sumter Humane Society sends animals to rescue organizations
all over the country! Transporting an animal can be a very
rewarding experience! Who wouldn't want an adorable one way
passenger on their next trip? Contact our Rescue Coordinator
at
shumanes@att.net for
details!

Because of
lack of funding and overpopulation, the Sumter Humane Society
no longer accepts animals from out of our county.

After moving into our new shelter,
we soon realized that we did not have enough beds to go around.
While we have received many as donations, many of our orphans do
not have one. We use blankets and dog beds for them, but they
are staying wet and continuously getting chewed to shreds.
Please consider donating a Kauranda bed so one more of our "fur
angels" can sleep in the comfort that they deserve.
If you would like to donate a bed so
another dog can sleep in proper comfort order here.

Preferred Qualifications: Prefer
history of employment in the veterinary or grooming industry; history of
using photo editing software, and experience with basic website updates
and/or managing photographs on a basic website.

General
Job Description: Would train in
every aspect of every job within the shelter to train other volunteers.
Would receive all volunteer applications, train those volunteers, and set
schedules for each volunteer. Once a volunteer was completely trained,
they would move up to a higher level in order to train new volunteers.

*We are in dire need of a volunteer coordinator. We have
so many people offering to volunteer, but with limited staff, we do not
have the resources to train each volunteer. Please consider doing
something meaningful and worthwhile. All of the animals within our shelter
would benefit from whoever is chosen for this position.

*Please fill out an application at SHS anytime between
12pm-5pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday, or 12pm-4pm on Saturdays.

When submitting your application, please bring all
applicable materials including professional reference information and
resume.

Thank you for your interest in working with Sumter
Humane Society!

Spay/Neuter ExcusesWe hear excuses every
day on why people don't spay and neuter their animals. We
want everyone to know that there is NO EXCUSE! If you plan
on breeding your animal, you must have a breeder's license
from the Georgia Department of Agriculture. We have a very
affordable Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program. Please contact
the shelter for details on how you would qualify. Our
stipulations have changed, if you didn't previous qualify,
you certainly may now! It isn't uncommon for Sumter Humane
Society to receive 40+ kittens and 30+ puppies in
one day. These numbers are astronomical, and they
can be prevented!
